True, and under ~1.4x normal gravity if we’re getting specific.

True. A better description might be that it will feel just like sitting still in a car seat that has been rotated 90 degrees so the back is on the floor.

This needs more stars. When China does something stupid we don’t talk about how wacky all of Asia is. This is about something that happened in the UAE, and generalizations that go beyond those borders should be examined before posting.

Sadly, this is the unofficial, official stance of pretty much every 1st world country’s government.

All depends on what part of town you’re in...I live in Phoenix suburbs and commute 25 miles on the freeway each morning. While illegal here, I totally don’t care of motorcyclists want to creep between cars during slow / stopped traffic, especially on the highway. Ultimately they are removing themselves from the…

Depends on the ex, but I bet a minivan might cause certain folks to flip out.

Not buying the “no fuel economy penalty” reasoning.

Beware the fearsome yellow chicken with no pants.

Except in this case it’s not racist...it’s the Hummer that’s yellow (literally), and the inside that’s white. Unless calling a white man white is racist now. Shit. Is it?

Regular hybrids I think are tested the same as any other car. Plug-in hybrids that actually specify an electric range (Volt, Prius plug-in, etc) may get ratings for both MPGe and regular MPG for when the juice is out.

Quite simple actually - although the calculation goes the other way in order to express consumption in terms we MPG-ers better understand. Electrical consumption is measured in kilowatt-hours, and the EPA uses the measurement of 33.7 kWh per gallon gasoline to give the MPG-style rating. Hypothetically, if the car has…

Most neglected fanbase? How about fans of sporty Hondas?

Technically isn’t Burger King Canadian now? Or at least they’re in the process of becoming so.

This. So much this.

NASCAR for the rest of the world...we only watch it for the crashes.

If specific output was what they were going for, I might agree. But, it’s not. They could have just as easily taken that 1.5l from other markets and reworked the valvetrain to get 155 hp out of it, but it would have sucked to drive at anything below 6k rpm.

I can’t unsee this.

Hey, the i8 only has a 1.5l engine, too.
